Biography
Rosa Morelli was born in New York City, New York to a family of Italian descent, and she became a madame in Little Italy. She owned a small prostitution business called Rosa's, and she only appeared by special requests, or at special parties. On 31 December 1945, she hosted a New Year's Eve party at her brothel, but it was raided by corrupt NYPD sergeant Joe Galtosino, who tried to take Morelli in for "interrogation". She fought back and Aldo Trapani proceeded to kill Galtosino; Morelli helped Trapani with staging the death as an accident. In 1950, Trapani once more saved Morelli by killing Jaggy Jovino, who had taken Morelli as a hostage.
